Building Instructions for the 2017/2018 AQUA ADVENTURESM season

Swing like a monkey, fly like a bat, or hop like a frog into the FIRST® LEGO® League Jr. CREATURE CRAZESM season. Whether in zoos, on the farm, or in your own back yard, we all encounter animals in our lives. In the 2016-2017 CREATURE CRAZE Challenge, over 40,000 children will dive into the wonders of the animal kingdom. What will you learn about our furry, feathered, and finned friends?

FIRST LEGO League Jr. expos provide an opportunity for teams to showcase their work and meet other teams who share a similar interest in science and technology. Expos provide a venue for positive sharing, learning, laughing, and celebrating! An expo can be as simple as a meeting of a team, families, and friends to share what was learned. Or, an expo may include many teams sharing in a public venue. Larger expos offer teams an opportunity to share and learn from one another.

Every year, FIRST® LEGO® League Jr. works with experts in the field to create a Challenge that relates to an important real-world issue. Past Challenges have been based on topics such as nanotechnology, climate, quality of life for the handicapped population, and transportation. The end result of the design process is a Challenge with two defined parts – the Show Me Poster and the Model.

It’s never too early to discover STEM. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math concepts. FIRST LEGO League Jr. is designed to introduce STEM concepts to kids ages 6 to 10 while exciting them through a brand they know and love − LEGO®.
